The gown by Alexander McQueen,Black as night without starlight,Hiding her skin, sleek and keenAs a knifefight between wrong and right.Ruby earrings in her lobes,A ruby pendant beside the globesOf her ripe breasts a thousand robesCould not conceal, a million suns cannot revealIf she chooses not to.

No silver, golden rings,She does not wear such petty things,To link her to some other flesh.Her life’s alone to seldom meshAnd yet her thighs do sometimes partFor a poet with a heartAs pierced with Cupid’s fatal dartIf he chooses to be.

Both these beings, humans, trulyBeneath the moon, beside the sea,Dance their passions, all unruly,For the wondering world to see,Like curious angels without wings.Such pretty, pretty, pretty things.

I can remember, the two of us walking along the grains of sand, tickling between our toes,The sun descending across the sea, fading beyond the ocean so blue and calmThe beating of my heart, at your side, a shell filled with happiness and loveAs we sit down, and stare out into the world beyond... as the darkness of night swallows us up whole within

The Never-Ending Search

I searched, high and low, from the Highlands to the Dover cliffs,For that one, that special life, to accompany me on my travels,A second beating heart, smothered in warmth and caring nature,That would enrichen my lonely life, turning my frown upside down,But my search continues on, as my years don't grow younger, but older,Approaching father time, who awaits my final destination of this path I walk upon......

Farewell your eyes said in silenceAs our time has come, smileIt was divine, to feel so muchIn such little timeYou roam sweet pasturesWhile gazelles jump farTime seems to pass too quickOur “Love” was OURSWe had it all yet not enoughTo save our souls from the darkBehave mi poeta, find whatYou seek and it will bring youMemories of ME…

My soul mate in life was a good man named Ron.I cherished and loved him, but now he is gone.Our love was so special, so tender, so deep.Then one night without warning, he passed in his sleep.

How we met was so funny, just lust at first sight.Not so very long after, he stayed through the night.The lust turned to caring, then grew into love.We were so good together, like a hand and a glove.

We had thunder at times, but also had passion.How much my heart raced in a very quick fashion.Whenever we touched, I doubt he ever quite knew.My soul mate, my lover, best friend; teacher too.

Through the years both together, though not husband and wife.He put up with my antics, then just left this life.Gone was the life we had shared, bringing joy to each other.But returned for a minute, a great gift from the Father.

Said he was sorry he left me, just so sudden as this,He was sad and was worried, said goodbye with a kiss.Then on hearing a bell ring, asked if I would be fine.Going back to the Father, said don’t cry and don’t pine.

Now a flower, a puppy, and two girls who’re just silly;Have helped heal the pain though it’s been rocky and hilly.Captured my heart and my soul, causing my spirits to soar.I was just locked in my grief, now they’ve opened the door.

Never knowing if feeling would again fill my heart.There’s also been others, each having a part.Helping me to recover, from the hurt and the pain.Shown the path to the future, to feel love again.

So I just want to tell him that I'll be okayMoving back to the living, though just day by day.I know I’ll wake up one morn and suddenly seeMy future, the roadway, and God’s good plan for me.

A Wish Granted by Lady Moon

I was walking alone Lady Moon high aboveGuiding my steps leading the wayThe sky was dark black as tarThe only light was her shimmering Love

She looked at me with a watchful eyeAs I sat on the sand, hands covering my faceDistraught and restless, as I cried

My Heart was empty, sad and wornMy days were null and full of painMy Soul was shattered and tornMy nights were sleepless and in vainMy eyes quickly changed from hazel to greenAs sadness and grief overwhelmed me

The Moon being the generous Lady she isGranted me a heartfelt wishFor she listened to my plea of finding just oneOne that would understand and cherish my LoveThis One would be Kind, Loving, Compassionate and TrueAnd so She traveled thorough the sky, across the ocean wideWith a twist and many turns, led my steps to You

Lady Moon now smiles each night as my eyes are no longer greenShe is joyous as I am tooFor my wish of finding a Soul like You, has come true.Laugh, Learn and Most of all Love...My Way of Life...

I’ve always heard the hungry howl of paper waiting to be fed;Waiting for perfect, sublime words to fill it up.The paper has been calling my name since I was young;Tempting, tantalizing, taunting me to write.I started with silly stories about princesses and super-herosSaving the day and leaving their mark on the world.Like a seed I grew, expanding my horizons.All the time, I avoided poetry like the plague.Poetry was dangerous; daunting.It was never my cup of tea; never appealing.My first taste of poetry was Dr. Suess. I always thought he was crazy.My second bite of poetry was Shel Silverstein. He made me laugh, but it got annoying quick.They say the third time’s a charm,And for me, it was.Robert Frost intrigued me with ‘The Road Not Taken’.I started to see the true beauty of words.I realized that poetry was words in their most admirable form.I began to feel something stirring inside of meLike a monster wanting out of its cage.I felt the seed of poetry planting itself inside me,And I watered it everyday.It’s still growing, still blooming;Being nurtured by the metaphors of Emily Dickinson And the breathtaking words of Shakespeare;Two people made immortal because of their words.I hope to be like them one day;To be immobilized in print;Leaving my mark in societyLike the super-heros in the stories I wrote when I was young.

In just a glancebeauty came to meshe never knewhow my heart came alive againjust by her eyesa spark of lifea hint of sadnessit all spoke to mein a language that needs no wordsIf onlyI could break this silencewhich holds me closebut so far away....
